The Covenant is both the idea that we must acknowledge the essential truth of the division between secular and spiritual matters and also the commitment to treating the secular differently from the spiritual: all secular matters are governed by Reason alone, and all spiritual matters are governed by whatsoever is called from within us so to do.

The idea that we can have very real and profound experiences that can touch us and teach us, regardless of whether or not the object of the experience is involved or even exists. Putting the emphasis on the nature of an experience and not its source.

The faculty and consequent tools that, if applied correctly, discard inconsistent and unjustified statements, claims, and beliefs leaving only that which must be necessarily true. The sole arbiter of secular and factual truth.

The truth that sometimes the proper response to a claim of truth is neither to believe it true nor false, but to reject it as unjustified and to simply say “We can’t say.” That Reason dictates that it is the burden of the one that claims to speak secular, factual truth to justify why what they say must be accepted as true, or retract their claim.
